I believe somewhat in these. A lot of these things are relatable in a sense. What are your thoughts and opinions about zodiac signs and horoscopes

I must be whichever zodiac sign is least likely to believe in astrology.

Well true. But mine perfectly describe me. Some don't come close to people and their personalities

But the odds that they guess your personality from your birth are odd!

They aren't. You're drawing the connections in your mind. If you scrambled up horoscopes, picking out yours would be no better than random chance.

True. But zodiac signs are very descriptive of me.

They're descriptive of most people.

Gemini who's two brightest stars are Castor 50.88 light yrs distance to Earth and Pollux 33.72 light yrs distance to Earth. As you can see the two stars in that constellation have no relationship even to each other, or perhaps Pollux has a relationship to ONE of the six stars that are what is called Castor. If you believe that these constellations (man made pictures) have any influence over life on Earth then you need your head read.

That is the thing. Not every real-life thing works like that though. Someone who doesn't believe in that stuff can easily fall in love with someone that is not their horoscope. But the odds that it did happen, is very low and it did. Which is the scary thing about it!

Not neccesarily. I don't really believe in horoscopes that much. But zodiac's do tend to be correct

I think that the daily zodiac readings in the newspaper are bunk, but they're fun to read, and like a fortune cookie can be worthwhile to consider your life from a certain perspective, or think on a piece of generic wisdom.

'Maybe when and where you're born can have a long term effect on a person.
The state of a mother, effects the state of a kid, to a 'degree I think.
And 'maybe a child's body adapts to the circumstance he is born into.
Grown dogs have winter coats.

I don't know any science about it though.

I am a Taurus, but I don’t think I am anything like it though. I am about as much into astrology as Mao is into Judaism, but gosh those are ambitious guesses, mostly wrong.

You are mostly like an Aquarius but you do have many Taurus traits.

Zodiac signs are an incomplete theory in my opinion. I'm a flat earther who believes the stars indeed are linked to destiny but I do not think that the zodiac signs and way of splitting up destiny paths based on birth month and moon+sun+planet positions is sufficiently complete. There is something significantly missing in it, for instance it needs to be fused with numerology and a couple of other things for one's true destiny path to be decrypted.
